Casino City, the world's largest provider of casino and gaming information, today announced its acquisition of the Gambling Portal Webmaster Association, the largest webmaster forum of its kind on the Internet.
"I look forward to working together with the GPWA membership, and with my colleagues at Casino City, to create an association that is vibrant and that has the relationships and resources necessary to make a difference," Corfman said. Casino City has been involved with the GPWA for four years, and Corfman himself has been a member for two years.
In announcing the move, Casino City CEO Michael Corfman described the GPWA as an important resource for online gaming portal site owners that will continue to thrive and grow under Casino City's leadership.
Casino City has already taken over the hosting and maintenance of the GPWA website, and earlier today rolled out an upgrade to the site with significant enhancements to its usability. New features include intuitive site navigation, more information section introductions, and a greater focus on the extensive forums available on the site.
Corfman, who is now the GPWA's Executive Director, plans to concentrate on enhancing the organization's role in increasing transparency in the gaming industry as a whole. "I think of the gaming industry as a public garden," he said.
"If we want people to visit so we can be successful, we have to get rid of the weeds. I believe communities like the GPWA can support the good industry players and expose the bad industry players if they have the right infrastructure in place. We will direct our energy, passion, and resources to build tools that will be of the greatest benefit to the GPWA community."
